Looking at these pics, I feel that there is something strangely contemporary about Kurt's clothes. Apart from perhaps his pants being a little bit too loose-fitting, I don't think he'd look out-of-place at any present-day Seattle hipster party. What do you think?

There's nothing wrong with his pants.

He looks a bit unemotional in the pictures.

I'm not saying there is. I'm only saying that his pants are one of the very few things that I think could date these photos, since the kind of hipsters that would wear his leopard-print jacket and his ear-flap hat would probably do so while wearing skinny jeans today. The only other thing I see that could date the photo is the Paisley print on his shirt. However, in Seattle, thrift store clothes shopping is to this day considered cool among large groups of young people, so it is possible that his clothes would not get any special attention if he walked around on the streets of present-day Seattle.

what was he smoking in the pictures? ???

Tobacco. You can see it in the pictures. The cigarette is white and yellow, and pot cigarettes are hand made. He's smoking a manufactured cigarette.

Any opinions about whether his clothes look very dated or could pass for present-day clothes?

If you saw a hipster looking like this in present day brooklyn you wouldn't think twice

the grunge look evolved from the utter lack of money these guys had coming from the pacific northwest. It was basically just a mishmash of thrift store clothes. By this point Kurt could afford something better, but stuck with what he always wore. Always conscious of those "punk rock ethics"

I found this in a Google search.  Just type in Frances Bean Cobain and you'll find lots of pictures of her.  :)

Kurt Cobain looks straight up homeless in those pics.

Grunge fashion sense in '93 and homeless in '14.  ;D
